The round also included follow-on investments from Middle East Venture Partners, FA Holding, and some other international VCs and regional angel investors, said the startup. Founded in 2015 by Nezar Kadhem and David Feuillard, Eat App is a reservation platform and online marketplace (a SaaS-enabled marketplace) for restaurants, allowing users to reserve tables at over 1,000 restaurants in the Middle East & North Africa. Eat App’s subscription comes with offers easy-to-install widgets to restaurants to allow them to sell tables right from their websites (and even social media pages). Nezar Kadhem, Co-founder of Eat App, said, “Our first course of action is to triple headcount in sales and engineering and launch new offices in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. We have an impressive product roadmap focused on new verticals including restaurant payments, guest loyalty, CRM and enterprise-level technology.
